For the people still recovering from Hurricane Michael, the one-year anniversary of its landfall — a little more than six weeks away — will probably be just another day of struggle.

Though Tallahassee itself was spared the worst of Michael, we are surrounded by its destruction. In the immediate aftermath, we got out to as many small counties and towns as we could, and told the stories of those people and places affected most.

Many of those stories, photos and videos are preserved at michael.tallahassee.com, which is an interactive tour of the hurricane’s arc of ruin as seen through the eyes of our journalists and neighbors.

Many media outlets around the state and nation are planning for their "one year ago today” stories. At the Democrat, the enormity of the disaster led us to go beyond the anniversary story.

Beginning on Oct. 10, landfall day, and continuing through the month, we will revisit impacted communities and have daily datelined stories from nearly two dozen towns in North Florida and South Georgia.

In some we will check back with the people we previously wrote about to see how they are doing. How are the farmers managing? How are the survivors of those who died in the violent storm coping? Which towns are headed toward normal and which are still a sea of blue tarps?”
